@SONOFINDIA @NalinisKitchen We had smart boards when they were first a thing in the 00s. They soon stopped working and were more hassle. Ended up projecting onto a whiteboard, worked perfectly fine. Then they spashed out on these 6k each tvs and after a year all the pens are lost. Waste of money

@NalinisKitchen The problem is that half the time, these digital boards don't work, and on top of that, these schools don't have adequate content to run on these boards. Chalkboards are better.

1st photo is from a zero fees government school with a smart digital board. 2nd photo is from a private school that charges ₹30,000 per year. It has AC but does not have a smart digital board. In Gujarat, the government is seriously improving schools. Many old gov. school buildings were demolished and rebuilt in the same place with better infrastructure.

@Jamie171205 @arrivanortheast The bus stops were built so local buses could join up with the trains. The stations are miles from a lot of the town so thats the reason behind it. Ik for people who live my way the train doesnt make any difference because getting to the station is so difficult.

@a1feeee1 @arrivanortheast Just walk it is probably a 5 minuite walk from stops... existing Arriva customers don't want buses to divert via railway stations.

We will be making some changes to our services in Northumberland and Tyne and Wear from the 2nd of November. Please click here for full details arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/se…

@MrTimDunn @TyneFlashback @BBCBreakfast @northernassist @N_landCouncil @transportgovuk @RailDeliveryGrp Dont know how theyre putting 4 cars on. Overhead some guards today saying they were cancelling the ashington train because they needed it to go to chathill because theres not enough trains. Quite silly they didnt buy new ones. Also Bebside theres lots of unnecessary walking

Fresh off @BBCBreakfast having awarded @northernassist Ashington station #WorldCupOfStations plaque, lovely to then travel 2 stops to witness official opening of brand new Blyth Bebside station on Northumberland Line. Line is on track to carry 1 million journeys in first year! Some services are being augmented by extra units to make a four-car set at peak times, it’s so popular. Schools and local groups have adopted some stations already en route - if you’d like to get involved in volunteering for the local @CommunityRail partnership project to do more fun things with these transformative stations - do get in touch with Fiona at @TVCRP.

@CathTaylor1 @emilyedie07 He smuggled himself in on a boat did he not?

@emilyedie07 so, you object to legal immigrants??

he’s from fucking peru

@2wheelsgoodBrum It is a flaw. But theres only so much money for road schemes so thats how it normally is. LAs have a big list of stuff that needs doing, and then a list of stuff that would be nice to do. Obviously it would be great to remodel every road and make them all safer

@a1feeee1 Do you see the flaw in changing roads when people die? You are demonstrating the problem, a1feeee1.

I was on similar roads today, asking exactly this question. Default 20mph, with higher limits as appropriate would help us all reimagine how we should travel on our roads.

@2wheelsgoodBrum That would be the case if all roads were defaulted to 20mph. Not against a lower default but 20 is a bit extreme. Meet in the middle at 40 and then its much less work in terms of restricting roads.

@a1feeee1 No one is asking anyone to drive everywhere at 20mph. It’s a simple idea. We should have set default speed limits decades ago.

@2wheelsgoodBrum Yes. So when accidents occur on the roads they get prioritised for speed restrictions and safety improvements. Even then people won't follow the signs of they can physically drive faster.

@a1feeee1 Yet too many drivers can’t drive at appropriate speeds. If they could, no one would die and there would be no speed limits needed.

@2wheelsgoodBrum And who on earth is going to drive at 20mph everywhere? Soon you'll need traffic calming on every road to make people stick to the speed limits, with that you need street lighting - so you'll have to put electricity up every road. Its a nice thought but 20 would be impractical

@a1feeee1 If we want to stop deaths twenty is plenty (as they say). Where higher speeds don’t lead to harm they can be applied.

@2wheelsgoodBrum The thing is with the UK is that most roads are derestricted so 60 in rural areas and 30 in built up areas as a maximum & it is up to the driver to drive at a speed appropriate for the conditions. Speed limits are only put in place on new roads and ones where speeding is an issue

@2wheelsgoodBrum I'd say maybe a default 40 limit with higher limits. But even then it'd cost loads to put in the signage and loads to evaluate every road in the country - most of which are "60" due to being derestricted (since local councils haven't seen inappropriate speed as an issue)

@railandroad Ive got a fantastic idea. Build this new line from London roughly following the WCML and go all the way up north and then you could run more trains!!!

Today we've rejected three operators' applications to run services on the West Coast Main Line due to insufficient track capacity. Read more about our decision: orr.gov.uk/search-news/ra…

@Zaffaraya @SwaledaleMutton @cultfree54 @ITVNewsPolitics @Nigel_Farage Don't have to pay for more buildings

.@Nigel_Farage says any Durham County Council staff working on diversity or climate change initiatives, or think 'they can go on working from home', should be 'seeking alternative careers' It is one of seven county councils now under Reform's control itv.com/news/2025-05-0…

@davesegment @EastMidRailway Just look at TPE. Light grey + turquoise seating. That's all stained now after couple of years.

@EastMidRailway Light coloured seats? Who designs these things? They'll look great for 5 minutes.

🚆 First in Class ✨ Our first Class 170 train to be refurbished as part of a £23 million investment, will be on our network very soon 👀. The refurbishment programme will deliver a more comfortable, contemporary, and consistent experience for regional rail customers across EMR's network. Take a sneak peak ⬇️ #EMR #Class170 #TransportUKGroup #Porterbrook #Arriva #TrainCare

@lf_p What's the point in zone D when metro tickets aren't valid on it anyways?

Has the “Metro zone map (including the Northumberland Line)” had a little TLC?

@angerolt @NewcastleCC Hopefully all the regeneration in blyth will help bring back businesses and attract more investment.

@NewcastleCC Just don't look at blyth for inspiration for goodness sake. At least you have shops which will help enormously.

The future of Northumberland Street is coming to life 🌟 New images reveal the next step in transforming the NE's busiest high street. ✨ New paving & drainage 🪑 Stylish seating & lighting 🌿 Green planting & rain gardens The first install lands in May—more to come! 💙

@DazNUFC21 @NewcastleCC Called architecture... all built at different times. They tried to flatten it all in the 60s - not very tasteful them buildings now

@NewcastleCC need to put some stylish cladding along the front of the buildings aswell they are all shapes and sizes and ugly

@GrantMitchell00 @NewcastleCC I wouldn't say that's all NCL CC fault. It's how many years of cuts to public services.

@NewcastleCC It's a disgrace currentlyto say it looks like the outskirts of a 3rd world city is doscourteous to that city. Beggars, vagrants, smack rats, spice mime artists, deliveroo lunatics with no social skills or manners. First impression it's horrendous, what have you done to this city.

@shawt1974 @NewcastleCC John Dobson Street has a massive one, all side streets off Nland St lead there.

@NewcastleCC Can't see any cycle lanes there 🤔

@lountons @NewcastleCC They are banned from cycling up Northumberland Street. Plenty of signs. Mainly all the delivery drivers who need teaching how to ride a bike

@NewcastleCC Hopefully cyclists, which currently inundate Northumberland Street, will be prevented from accessing the area, as they’re a nuisance and safety risk to pedestrians.
